I had romantic notions of Christmas tree's this year. I was going to pick the tree that nobody wanted. The sad little tree that caught nobody's eye. This is quite unlike me, as I'm usually a tree perfectionist. I like the tall and skinny type, with strong branches, and lots of room between the layers to hang ornaments (like the one I had last year).

I faltered, on the walk to the tree place, and decided that actually, I did want a nice tree. Nobody wants those ones for a reason right?! As it turns out, it was Hobson's choice anyway. There was only one tree left...

And so I named him Stumpy, and he became mine.

I wasn't too sure about stumpy when me and the bestie carried him home. Nor when he was standing there, a little naked, in my house. But after watching Christmas movies (Elf and The Family Stone) to get us in the mood, decorating him to within an inch of his life, and drinking a considerable amount of wine, I think I might be persuaded. Wonky star and all.

I love Stumpy. He is dripping in glitz! I am going to put my tree up next week. It will be the first time in over 12 years I have done so because this year we are going to be HOME FOR CHRISTMAS - wooohoooooo!!!

I wondered what you were talking about when you said you liked them tall and skinny with strong branches! Stumpy is adorable as are your furry friends who look very happy with the new tree. Enjoy him! (The tree).

I love your tree! Did you come over and see mine? I love the sparkle and color.. sweet!:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦: *M*E*R*R*Y* *C*H*R*I*S*T*M*A*S*!*:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦:-·-:¦: ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Gorgeous tree Laura! It looks like I will around the middle after eating my way through the festive season!! Gorgeous kitty cats too, I love how cats swipe at the decorations and it's hilarious when they try to climb the tree! Enjoy x

And I'm glad to hear that someone else has a tree where only the top half is decorated. my cats have removed the decorations, tinsel and an entire string of lights from the bottom half of our tree. only the fact that it is 8ft tall has meant that any of it is still intact!
